S5 Episode 7 - Talking Biodiversity

A New Digital Responsibility

22-08-2023 • 34 minutos

A New #DigitalResponsibility is a podcast for technologists and businesses who want to make a positive impact on people and planet. We speak to innovators in #business, #startups, #academia and #policy about their work in #CDR, #AIethics, #digitalethics #sustainability, #SDGs and #digital #innovation.


The UK is introducing new regulation that means that anyone developing land will have to demonstrate a net gain of 10% improvement in biodiversity. Rob talks to Ben Jacob, author of the outstanding book "The Orchid Outlaw" and Richard Flemmings, founder of a geospatial start up called Map Impact.

We discuss the book, orchids, ecosystems of nature and our confidence in the regulation having a positive impact. For anyone with an interest in wildlife, nature, plants and biodiversity, this is a fascinating and compelling discussion from different perspectives, but with a common goal - to improve biodiversity for the benefit of all.
